It is an exciting time to take up the baton to lead one of the flagship journals of the British Educational Research Association (BERA). After a decade of publication, Review of Education (RoE) has received its inaugural Impact Factor of 2.4, published a growing num- ber of special issues that focus on a range of educational topics, and been led and supported by a team of experienced and dedicated editors, international editorial board members and peer reviewers.

RoE publishes high-quality primary studies and reviews that have substantial national and international impact. Building on the wonderful work of the previous editorial team, we are dedicated to continuing to uphold this commitment of large-scale and impactful studies in educational research. In this editorial, we set out our three-fold vision and ambitions for the journal: (1) to solidify the journal's status as a premier platform for disseminating meth- odologically rigorous and innovative evidence syntheses in educational research in all fields of study; (2) to strengthen its position as a leading advocate for open science practices; and (3) to enhance support for the involvement and development of early career researchers (ECRs) from all parts of the world, including the provision of active mentoring opportunities. © 2024 British Educational Research Association.
